You can obtain egcs either by FTP or with a Web browser. To do the
latter, start from @file{http://egcs.cygnus.com/}. The master
FTP site is @file{ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/releases}, however
you'll probably get a faster download if you use a mirror site.

Recent g++ versions provide limited support for exceptions. You must
The first really usable exceptions implementations are in 2.8.x and

-fno-exceptions to disable exceptions.
However, 2.8.1 still has not integrated egcs work that computes an
accurate control flow graph in the presence of exceptions. For this
reason, you will sometimes get bogus warnings when compiling with 2.8.1,
-O, and -Wall, about uninitialized variables and the like.
2.7.2.x has very limited and partially broken support for exceptions.
With that compiler, you must

@emph{It still doesn't work on HP-PA or MIPS platforms.}
Exception handling adds space overhead (the size of the executable
grows); the problem is worse on the ix86 (Intel-like) architecture
than on RISC architectures. The extra exceptions code is generated
in a separate program section and is only paged in if an exception
is thrown, so the cost is in disk, not in RAM or CPU.

Most systems based on System V Release 4 (except Solaris) encode symbolic
debugging information in a format known as `DWARF'.
Although the GNU C compiler already knows how to write out symbolic debugging
information in the DWARF format, the GNU C++ compiler does not yet have this
feature yet. However, work is in progress for DWARF 2 debug support for
gcc and g++ and it works fairly well in 2.8.x and egcs, though we'll
have to wait for gdb 4.17 to be released to take full advantage.
Now that we have gdb 4.17, DWARF debugging is finally supported (if
you use gcc 2.8.1 or egcs-1.0.x or newer).
